Respectfully, IMO you sound like a grouchy old coot that can't enjoy the things that are better because you are mad that you are not young anymore. I would now humorously surmise that your favorite holiday greeting is "Bah, humbug". Again, I pity you if all you can see are things lost and that you're going to die sooner than later. I sincerely hope you can adjust your view so that you don't squander your remaining days.

Now on to more positive:
I am not held quite so strictly accountable for remembering things because "old people don't remember so well...". It sure can come in handy from time to time.
You've completely misinterpreted what I wrote. Maybe it's an age related thing on your part(?) I'm not grouchy in the least and not old yet, in fact I probably have the youngest lifestyle of anyone my age on earth. I'm surrounded by youth, beauty, happiness and good health. I ski, ride motorcycles, drive sports cars, date younger women and travel the world. I have interesting friends, a huge extended family and money.

While I don't look forward to actually getting old after caring for both parents to their death recently, I'm not the least bit afraid or resentful about it, or if I am, it's not on a conscience level. What I find silly is people living in denial about their mortality and/or pretending that getting old is "great." That is BS, and being in denial or delusional does not add to my happiness. If it does for you, rock on.
